   Yes, there were even special Santa-letter mailboxes set up at picketing sites, though I’m not sure what the striking workers were planning to do with them. It’s a sticky situation, as essentially Canada Post is fighting an existential battle because couriers deliver parcels so much more cheaply than CP and fewer and fewer people need letter delivery, using email instead. sigh

   I decided not to order it this year (too many calendars around here), which is just as well since Canada Post has been on strike since November 15, no mail delivery period (really bad for people waiting for passports or cheques to arrive in the mail!). The gov’t has just decided to force them back to work, but nothing will start up again until next week sometime. So my non-Canadian friends don’t get Christmas cards on time this year….

   We have an electric fireplace that we turn on more for atmosphere than heat. We also have a knotted rug that I made when I was 15 and that returned to me after my mother passed in 2016. Warmth, flickering flames and comfy rug, the purrfect spot for Medb (Maeve) and Loki to lounge upon!

   I was about to suggest the same thing; the puzzle boards (there are several different kinds) really worked well for me when I was jigsawing and the cats were still very very little bouncy kittens!

   I have a print of the three original boys hanging out around their water cooler – framed and everything, hanging on my wall. Makes me smile every time I see it!

   I have the first two panels up on the wall; didn’t think the reaction shots were needed, me!

   (History lesson coming.) Also good to remember is that Guy himself was an immigrant and a Catholic, and his “co-conspirators” were mostly titled Englishmen; his capture, torture and execution was, in part, a scapegoating of the “other” and nowadays no one remembers the names of the other men involved. (History lesson over.)

    Hahaha! Somehow, though, I think present-day JT won’t be following Harper’s advice (though many think he should)….
